Blade Runner

[nbc@inf.rl.ac.uk]

While we all await the next KT album I thought I would resurrect
the Blade Runner discussion which emerges here from time to time.

Fans may be interested to know that the Closing Gala at the London
Film Festival on Sunday 22nd November will be "Blade Runner -The
Director's Cut". It is described as Ridley Scott's recently completed
own cut of the film inwhich he has removed the voice-over narration
of Deckard and the "upbeat" ending and added some new footage.

There is also an article about this version in the December issue
of Sight and Sound (Vol 2 Issue 8). The article suggests (a) that this
may not be identical to the version that showed in San Francisco in
October 1991, (b) that nationwide exposure will follow, and (c) it
may reawaken the "was Deckard a replicant" arguments.
